Oh, a "counter" incident. Institutional racism is officially over!

  It is not over, what I pointed at IS racism. This is not an incident however, this is happening all over Europe. Police are hesitant to reveal real rates of crime, Dutch police advising victims not to press charges because the Northern-African suspects are known to make your life miserable. Calling statistical profiling racial profiling instead etc.

    Ethnic profiling is bunk. It kind of works in areas like Israel, where there is literally a war on and the goal of profiling is not to determine criminality, but which side of the war you are on. If you're trying to determine criminality, ethnic profiling doesn't work. It's been proven time and again. It's amazing that we're still having this debate 70 years after the West shed eugenics.

      > proven time and again ... after the West shed eugenics Given how you conflate racial profiling and eugenics, I'd be skeptical of what you consider proven. But you are right, race doesn't correlate directly with criminality - but it does correlate if it correlates with something else that does e.g. religious membership.

    > It is not over, what I pointed at IS racism. Not sure it's either accurate or useful to classify the Rotherham situation as racism.
